印度空军少将：不能再对用LCA取代阵风的声浪保持沉默， ...

印度空军少将Air Vice Marshal Manmohan Bahadur VM 对印度媒体上热议的阵风是个错误，可用LCA取代的观点，再也无法保持沉默。披露了MMRCA项目的一些内幕和LCA的状况

文章太长，挑一小部分：
Tejas Mk I is unsuitable for IAF operational requirements (and hence would limited to only two squadrons) and Tejas Mk II would have less than one-third the flight range and armament capability of the MMRCA and just qualify to be a MiG 21 replacement. Why the use of future tense? Because Tejas Mk II is still on DRDO’s drawing board and would NOT enter squadron service before 2020-22, just like the fifth generation fighter (which would be 2025 or later).

LCA MK1无法满足印度空军的作战要求，因此只采购2个中队
LCA MK2不到MMRCA/阵风航程和载荷能力的1/3，只是要退役的米格-21的替代品

为什么LCA MK2会在印度未来战斗机群中占据一席之地，（并不是因为它有多先进），只是因为在2020-22年之前它只会存在于印度国防研究与开发组织(DRDO)的绘图板上，就像第五代战斗机FGFA会在2025年或之后服役一样
